The Bard said it best in his play "Twelfth Night"
"If music be the food of love, play on"
Let's skew his meaning a bit and see just where the love of food and the love of music takes us.

'Nuf Said!
I thought I might share this with those of you unfamiliar with living in the southern part of the U.S. plus, it just make me laugh, 'cause it is pretty much spot on.
The thought of running into an alligator or a snake make me realize I will probably never truly retire in the south. You have my admiration for being able to live amongst creatures such as those.
I do see snakes in the yard occasionally, but only worry about the copperheads, and have only seen alligators in the wild in one lake in eastern Al. You pretty much have to be looking for gators
The only and worst thing in the list is the high humidity! If you die or sit still too long, the kudzu might cover you. I am not going to think about spiders this close to bedtime. I saw alligators as I rode on a small boat in the Okifinokee Swamp. I am not afraid of snakes, just cautious. Chronically late, even fifteen minutes--you will hear from me.
I love the post, but don't be afraid of the South--just walk slow and stay in the shade.
They all sound like very valid excuses! My excuses for being late: "I had to take the 405" (or the 101, or just about any freeway here). But the 405 is supposed to be the worst in the U.S., when it comes to congestion.
Hey y'all thanks for leaving a comment. They are much appreciated. I read them all and do my best to respond to them, except for trolls, spam, and AI. I delete those suckers forever.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteYep!
ReplyDeleteSmiling. Broadly.

All true! It's banana spider season now. They are spinning webs at a record pace!
ReplyDeleteThat heat would make me late!
ReplyDeleteHa! I can definitely relate to this. Kudzu is definitely a curse and the rest of the stuff isn't far behind. Happy Summer!
ReplyDeleteOnce I wrote a short story about kudzu dinosaurs (the ones you see on the roadsides with dead tree skeletons)

ReplyDeleteA lot of those things can apply in Australia so I might start using the list! Never mind that most don't exist in the big city ;)
